Topic: Embedded system


  
 Embedded system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embedded systems are computer systems in the widest sense.
An embedded system is a special-purpose computer controlled electo-mechanical system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls.
The first mass-produced embedded system was the guidance computer for the Minuteman missile in 1961.

 Embedded System Design Issues (the Rest of the Story)
Embedded systems in many cases must be optimized for life-cycle and business-driven factors rather than for maximum computing throughput.
Also, in many cases the engineers building embedded computer systems are not actually trained in computer engineering (or, perhaps not even electrical engineering), and so are not attuned to the culture and methodologies of desktop computer design.
In high-end embedded systems, the tools used for desktop computer design are invaluable.

 Challenges in Embedded Database System Administration
As embedded systems typically perform fairly simple queries, such metrics are not nearly as relevant for embedded database systems as are ease of maintenance, robustness, and small footprint.
As embedded systems define a specific environment and set of tasks, requiring expertise during the initial system configuration process is acceptable, and we focus our efforts on the ongoing maintenance of the system.
Similarly, as embedded systems are dedicated to a small set of tasks, one would expect that the software to manage them should be small and simple.

 embedded system definition of embedded system in computing dictionary - by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and ...
In embedded systems, the software is permanently set into a read-only memory such as a ROM or flash memory chip, in contrast to a general-purpose computer that loads its programs into RAM each time.

 embedded system - a Whatis.com definition - see also: embedded systems
An embedded system is some combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed in capability or programmable, that is specifically designed for a particular kind of application device.
The program is written permanently into the system's memory in this case, rather than being loaded into RAM (random access memory), as programs on a personal computer are.
